about

This song is about Longisquama, a small thecodont with overlong scales on its back, similar to modern gliding lizards.

lyrics

A holotype with intergumentary appendages
Projecting from the back of its skeleton
Seven, radiating in a fanlike pattern
Spaced close together, tips unpreserved

Proximal straight section divided
Into three longitudinal lobes
Raised rugae and deep interstices
Not unlike a bone-made rosary bead

Interior flange up to the tip of the distal section
Ridged and separated by a grooved axis
Projecting perpendicular or curving in S-shapes
Vertebrae spines to anchorage points

Resembling raised knobs, slightly convex
Tubular in life, like feathers into a folicle
Long scales, pseudosuchian, proto-archosaurian
A gift of the lacustrine fluvial Madygen
